Answer:

The way they might change are erosion, depostion, and weathering.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Erosion is distinct from weathering which involves no movement. Removal of rock or soil as clastic sediment is referred to as physical or mechanical erosion; this contrasts with chemical erosion, where soil or rock material is removed from an area by dissolution. Eroded sediment or solutes may be transported just a few millimetres, or for thousands of kilometres.
  • When rocks and cliffsare being continuously weathered, eroded, and moved, these generate a huge material that needs to be deposited or laid down somewhere else.
  • Weathering is the deterioration of rocks, soils and minerals as well as wood and artificial materials through contact with water, atmospheric gases, and biological organisms. Weathering occurs in situ (on site, with little or no movement), and so is distinct from erosion, which involves the transport of rocks and minerals by agents such as water, ice, snow, wind, waves and gravity.

Answer:

I would say the number 1 answer is global warming.

Step-by-step explanation:

Global warming can lead to a multitude of disastrous events which can all lead to the destruction of famous landforms. For example, the heating of Earth is causing the polar ice caps to melt. Other events like flooding are causing changes and damage to areas around the world.

Good luck! Hope this helped!
